Some more reading

While I compose my haiku philosophical masterpieces, read these links:

Douglas Kell gives an account of the problems of reverse engineering biochemical networks in biology here. It’s not just a matter of curve fitting to data.

Thinking is Real gives a fair discussion of the debate between meself and PZ Marlargl on accommodationism.

The Boston Globe reports on apparent racial profiling of African American academics at Harvard.

Some University of Iowa rediscover that the nature-nurture distinction is without merit.

Dispersal of Darwin has an account of some leading historians of biology meeting in Cambridge. This is a series, in which Dan Dennett, among others, makes an appearance.

And surprise, surprise, creationists lie in order to misrepresent historians again in another creationist propaganda piece.

    Thanks for the link!

  2. Now you’ve gone and done it. Larry has picked up on that article on accommodationism (by “fair,” I assume you meant something halfway between “good” and “bad”*) and will now cite your endorsement of it as proof that accommodationism is anti-science.

    * Kidding aside, did you really think that was a fair assessment of the accommodationist side of the argument?
